Professional Values and Ethics Paper
What does the lensatic compass and professional values and ethics have in common? The lensatic compass allows the infantryman to set a direct azimuth or path to an objective. With the azimuth set, the infantryman can readily recognize rough terrain, valleys and hills that he must negotiate to successfully reach the objective. Likewise, professional values and ethics provide both the employer and the employee a clear path to success – a compass. By adhering to Professional Values and Ethics will enable employees, employers and other professionals to avoid the many potential minefields that inundate the landscape of the business and professional worlds.
To really appreciate Professional Values and Ethics, we have to look closely at the terms values and ethics. Values are principles we use to judge between what is right and wrong, good and bad, and normal and abnormal. Values are primarily developed through our personal experiences, religious background, and social environment. Ethics is defined as a theory or a system of moral values; the rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession.(dictionary.com) . The tasks of professional ethics are to identify moral standards and assessments, judgments and concepts, charactering people as representatives of a particular profession. Professional ethics develops norms, standards, requirements, typical to certain activities. Ethics is designed to educate people, to help them to behave properly with others, to communicate at the workplace, etc. (Articlesbase). Subsequently, our values and ethics help shape our behavior in dealing with other people. As we move from the personal venue to the business world or professional world these same ideals can…...

Life may have many definitions. Through out the centuries, people have sought to understand life in different ways. People through their cultural practices, tries to explain and give meaning to life. Others through religion; their way of worship, explain what life is. Philosophers are in no doubt, a people who through the ages have embarked on this long search. However, with observation of nature, times and seasons, one can make an analogy to understand a section of life.
The morning stage is the early part of the day or life. This can signify the period of conception in ones mothers worm till birth. This is also a stage where one begins a social orientation of knowing the parents and the family, learning to speak, walk and embracing the environment around him. We can also classify the time when one begins elementary school to graduating from the university and securing your first job as the morning stage of life. The age range is 1-25 years.
The mid-day of life is when one has become a full adult. The person could at this stage be married and have children or his or her own nuclear family. One at this stage is independent and makes his own decisions; self actualization can also be found at this stage. Many times, the focus of people at this stage is their family and work. Acquiring houses, cars and all the luxury of life is very predominant at the mid-day of life. The age range is 35 to 60 years

...THE ABSURDITY OF LIFE
Steven Luper, Trinity University
In "The Absurd"[i] Nagel claims that self-conscious human beings are necessarily absurd, so that to escape absurdity while remaining human we would have to cease being self-conscious. Fifteen years later, in The View From Nowhere,[ii] he defends the same thesis, supplementing some of his old arguments with a battery of new ones. I want to suggest that Nagel has misdiagnosed, and exaggerated the inescapability of, our absurdity. He does so partly because the grounds on which he bases his conclusion are spurious, and partly because he does not acknowledge the extent to which we can eliminate absurdity by suitably redesigning our plans and modes of justification. Nonetheless, I do not mean to imply that we can easily eliminate absurdity from our lives. Life is not necessarily absurd, but unfortunately, in a world like ours, there are limits to what we can and should do to reduce the absurd elements of our affairs.
The View of the Nowhere Man
"In ordinary life a situation is absurd," Nagel says, "when it includes a conspicuous discrepancy between pretension or aspiration and reality: someone gives a complicated speech in support of a motion that has already been passed. . . ; as you are being knighted, your pants fall down."[iii] In this passage from "The Absurd" Nagel claims that absurdity is a particularly striking sort of incongruity, and the conception of absurdity he discusses in his book is the......

Any culture tells you how to live your one and only life: to wit as everyone else does. Probably most cultures prize, as ours rightly does, making a contribution by working hard at work that you love; being in the know, and intelligent; gathering a surplus; and loving your family above all, and your dog, your boat, bird-watching. Beyond those things our culture might specialize in money, and celebrity, and natural beauty. These are not universal. You enjoy work and will love your grandchildren, and somewhere in there you die.
Another contemporary consensus might be: You wear the best shoes you can afford, you seek to know Rome's best restaurants and their staffs, drive the best car, and vacation on Tenerife. And what a cook you are!
Or you take the next tribe's pigs in thrilling raids; you grill yams; you trade for televisions and hunt white-plumed birds. Everyone you know agrees: this is the life. Perhaps you burn captives. You set fire to a drunk. Yours is the human struggle, or the elite one, to achieve... whatever your own culture tells you: to publish the paper that proves the point; to progress in the firm and gain high title and salary, stock options, benefits; to get the loan to store the beans till their price rises; to elude capture, to feed your children or educate them to a feather edge; or to count coup or perfect your calligraphy; to eat the king's deer or catch the poacher; to spear the seal, intimidate the enemy, and be a big man or beloved woman and......

Jose: Because I felt as if i didn't belong here, and i would have more opportunities as a citizen.
Me: Nice to hear, Second question. What steps did you have to take as part of the naturalization process?
Jose: Well I had to be 18, Legal for 5 years, have good character, take a written exam testing my English, answer questions about U.S. government and history, and swear to the Oath of Allegiance.
Me: How would you describe how you felt about the process?
Jose: The process was a little stressful and longer than i thought. But i'm proud i went through with it.
Me: How has gaining citizenship changed your life? Is your daily life different because of gaining citizenship?
Jose: Gaining my citizenship opened up more priveledges for me in the future and my daily life hasn't really changed, I do as I usually do everday.
Me: Do you feel the process was worthwhile?
Jose: Most definetly, it was for the best.
Me: If you had to, would you do it again? Please explain.
Jose: Yes because if doing it again would help me stay in America legally, Then it is well worth my time.
Me: Overall, was this the best possible decision you could of made?
Jose: I feel like it was a big a great decision i made.
Me: Well thank you Jose, it was nice having you.

...With the development of a civilized society in America during the 1700s and 1800s, the role religion played in an everyday person's life was becoming more and more diminished. To combat this, a series of religious revivals were set in motion: The Great Awakenings. These were a series of large, sweeping religious, social, and political changes that sought to use the basis of religion to revive faith in a neglected belief, bring about numerous social reforms, and use political factions to great effect upon society's mentality. Although most view the First Great Awakening as the first' and greatest' religious, social, and political influence to American society, the second Great Awakening can be considered far more influential in its religious, social, and political aspects of influence.
Even though the First and Second Great Awakenings focused its attention on other matters of life later on, religion was the theme upon which they were built. The First Great Awakening started among the American colonial Protestants during the early 1700s, mainly due to the weakening of the strict Puritan tradition of religious doctrine, and in part, the religious decline caused by negative publicity from the Salem witch trials and the Enlightenment (www.wikipedia.org). The movement to correct these problems began with Jonathan Edwards, a strictly Puritan, orthodox theologian from Massachusetts who dedicated his time to bringing the people back to the strict Calvinist roots, and to reawaken......

...Life is like a Book
In almost every book there is always a table of contents, problems, solutions, main characters and supporting characters. Every book comes to life once given a title and has a purpose. The author is always the creator of the book, but each book is different. Some books are viewed as being better than another and ultimately receive awards. Some books cost more than others, but that doesn’t make them better. Sometimes a book is judged by its cover and is only attempted to be read by the way it looks, although the book itself may not be better than the books that are plain on the outside. The only thing that should matter in a book is the information inside, and the message it portrays to the reader. Each book created is meant to be read by someone, and to help someone. There is a plan for the book to begin and a plan for it to end. Each chapter in the book leads to another chapter and every chapter in the book is different. The beginning leads to the middle and the middle leads to the end. Old problems start to fade away and are solved, while new ones emerge to eventually be solved. Sometimes old characters are forgotten about or if they are special enough, they could remain mentioned throughout the whole story. New characters come in and out of every chapter and always have a lot to do with the chapters plot. All characters have a specific purpose in the book. The characters are created by the author and individually are giving different personalities,......

...mathematically). In a similar vein, Peter Singer, a major proponent of preference utilitarianism and himself influenced by the views of Hare, has been criticised for giving priority to the views of beings capable of holding preferences (being able to actively contemplate the future and its interaction with the present) over those solely concerned with their immediate situation, a group that includes many animals and young children. Hence, in cases of abortion, the views of the parent (however selfish or not, as the case may be) are prioritised over those of the foetus, without recourse to any (perceived) rights (here, the "right to life"). There are, he writes in regard to killing in general, times when "the preference of the victim could sometimes be outweighed by the preferences of others". Singer does, however, still place a high value on the life of rational beings, since killing them does not infringe upon just one of their preferences, but "a wide range of the most central and significant preferences a being can have"....

8. Explain your personal opinion on the safest birthing methods, and find research agreeing with your view.
The safest birthing method in my opinion would be Caesarean.
A caesarean is a modern way to have a baby, involving the use of technology. Modern technology features highly in our daily lives. It is found very reassuring. The latest and most up-to-date technological equipment is much prized and sought after in all areas of our lives. A caesarean is a medical operation. Birth is currently seen as a medical event as it usually takes place in hospital.
A caesarean is quick in comparison to most labours. It is perceived as pain-free. The operation is carried out under anaesthetic and therefore there are no pains of labour to be endured. The caesarean avoids the need for a baby to make the journey through the birth canal. Many women worry about how something as large as a baby could possibly fit through such a small opening. Some fear the baby may be ‘squashed’ and damaged in the process.
A caesarean is clean. The mess of amniotic fluid and blood is dealt easy, urine is catheterised. (LOWDON&DERRICK 2002)
The Caesarean section, particularly if it’s planned, is a common and safe procedure. Sometimes it is needed to save the life of a mum or baby, in which case it is without question the safest question.
Having a planned caesarean means the mother knows when the baby will be born. There won’t be any contractions, or pain between the......

...challenge between 7-Eleven’s private label merchandise competing against products/merchandise alliance and partnerships. An example includes Starbucks coffee agreement in Taiwan and 7-Eleven Taiwan’s own City Café coffee brand. Estimates for coffee indicate that of the 530,000 cups of coffee sold every day at convenience stores in Taiwan, 400,000 were sold by 7-Eleven stores. (I didn’t see this much in the report pg. c267 indicates that the offering of Citi Café by 7-Eleven caused others companies to sell coffee; such as McDonalds, Starbucks stores, Family Mart, and Hi-Life.)
• While the number of convenience stores in Taiwan has grown, the number of 7-Eleven stores decreased in 2009, expansion was flat in 2010 and increased to 4,783 by 2011. There is concern that 7-Eleven Taiwan may have commoditized their brand to the point that consumers no longer differentiate between 7-Eleven and their competition, Family Mart, Hi-Life, and OK. If this is the case, 7-Eleven needs to determine how they will differentiate themselves from the competition to continue to increase market share which hasd hovered at 50% -51% since 2007 and hasd dropped slightly in 2010.

From the story Kaleidoscope the story talks about, a gathering of space explorers are sent drifting defenselessly through space after a breakdown in their boat. The story delineates the last considerations and discussions of the group parts as they face their passing. The storyteller intensely ponders his life and feels he has fulfilled nothing beneficial. His last thought is a wish that his life would at any rate be worth something to another person. Eventually, the storyteller is burned as he falls through Earth's environment and shows up as a meteorite to a kid in Illinois.

...To have the opportunity to reapply to Long Beach State University through BEACH pathways is a great privilege to me. I currently have an older sister attending Long Beach State University, having her as support system when entering a new chapter in my life would be great way to start on the right track. I have attended the campus on several occasions and I’ve fallen in love with the school. The campus provides so much for me, for example the Horn Center, and the library; these are all resources that will help me achieve academic success since I do not have access to this at home. I have also attended classes at Long Beach State as a guest. During my visit I learned that the teachers in these classes are very entertaining and active while they teach. I believe that I can achieve all of my goals at the CSULB campus and even go the extra mile. For the past three years I have been involved in my high schools cheerleading squad and would love to continue once I become a forty ninner. CSULB has a great cheerleading team, and it would be an honor to represent such a great school. My sister was recently rushing for a sorority, they did many activities around the school and I became very interested in joining as a freshmen. I have faith that within the Beach community I will be able to succeed academically and socially. I know CSULB is meant for me....

...Charlie Hebdo is a French satirical weekly magazine, featuring cartoons, reports, polemics, and jokes. On the date of January 11, 2015, there was an attack in Charlie Hebdo which resulted in loss of life as well as many wounded. The claim for the one responsible for the attack, came in a video showing AQAP (Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) commander Nasr Ibn Ali al-Ansi, with pictures of the Kouachis (brothers) in the background. Its believed to be a reaction to the controversial Muhammad cartoons. According to (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-30863159) the cause of the uproar came when the magazine depicted the prophet Muhammad in a way that in which the Islamic community saw disrespectful but on the flipside according to bbc.news, man muslims take offense to any depictin of Islams prophet. According to (http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2015-01-07-for-charlie-hebdo-nothing-was-sacred-especially-the-sacred/#.VgKeUiM8KJI) In 2006, the magazine reprinted 12 Muhammad cartoons which had originally been published in a Danish satirical paper. Charlie Hebdo ran a cover image depicting the Prophet crying, with the caption, “It’s hard being loved by jerks." This brought on controversy. Fatwas were issued and real people took the streets of many places such as Pakistan, Canada and Nigeria. After taking accounts from BBCNews and AllAfrica, I found that the story on Charlie Hebdo told on AllAfrica gives you a more detailed portrayal of the story, saying things like, "In......
